Feature value
Currently only org-agenda-files can be targets for the refiling action and it would be nice if you could refile to other files than agenda files.
Additional context
If you have a personal wiki with lots of notes, but only some subdir containing actual project files with TODO states in it, it is a pita to open the agenda, because all files in org-agenda-files need to be scanned.
If I could limit org-agenda-files to the files actually containing agenda relevant stuff and use org-refile-targets for all files, i could easily refile to every file/note, but my agenda wouldn't need to scan all files.

Research direction
Start by reading the refile implementation and its handling of org-agenda-files, then compare it with the Orgmode documentation for org-refile-targets at the linked manual page. Trace how refile targets are discovered and determine how non-agenda files should be supplied. Done means users can configure additional target files without requiring them to be scanned as agenda files.
